Those years when I was the villain's little ancestor

When Shen Yuan went to see the Son of Heaven, Jiang Xingzhi hadn't woken up, the pain was severe last night, even though he was in a dream, his brows were slightly furrowed.

Shen Yuan dressed neatly, kissed him on the forehead, and told people not to disturb him.

Originally, Shen Yuan thought that he was just listening to the emperor's praise for his ingenious calculations, and at most he would inform his other brothers that he had made a meritorious service, so as to arouse a wave of hatred for him.

The result was unexpected.

Shen Yuan once rejoiced that he did not oversleep.

Before entering the door, Pan Fushou, the attendant beside the emperor, stepped forward to greet him, his usually arrogant eyes were no longer proud at this moment, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth and saluted Shen Yuan: "I said, why did I hear the magpie cry so early in the morning? It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Because Jiang Xingzhi didn't sleep well all night, Shen Yuan didn't even bother to listen to what he had to say, so he nodded perfunctorily and let him in.

"Your Highness is not happy?" Pan Fushou was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his hand and slapped himself, Shen Yuan's eyelids trembled in fright, "Look at this mouth, before the canonization ceremony was held, it started to mess up Shout out, I forgot that Your Highness is the most particular about etiquette."

What the hell?He, Shen Yuan, talks about etiquette?You are talking about Xue Lin...

Shen Yuan blinked, and came to his senses.

Although Shen Yuan is the eldest son, he has not been canonized as the official prince and crown prince for so many years, which caused Shen Qi to feel that he has the power to compete.

The previous wish was too absurd, and later it was better, but Yu Guoyu's family didn't make any achievements, so this matter was put on hold.

Now, Xue Lin has made great contributions in pacifying the famine, and he is Shen Yuan's person. It was Shen Yuan who proposed to thoroughly investigate the officials in this matter, and solved the problem from the root cause.

This reason is enough for the public.

Shen Yuan met the emperor with complicated emotions.

Most of the time, Shen Yuan looks down on this cheap father from the bottom of his heart.

The Son of Heaven is not the eldest son, so it stands to reason that the title of the throne is not justified, because he has also been criticized by many ministers for this matter.

——But Shen Yuan didn't care about these things.

He just simply felt that his cheap father was a failure in being a man, and let the queen who had treated him sincerely not want to praise the stinky feet of Lao Shizi Shumei.

It also made him think that he would leave the crown prince to Shen Qi - after all, where is the aura of the protagonist.

Then there is weakness, the princes stand up, and the power is growing day by day, which is inseparable from his inaction. He is not stupid, but he is not benevolent.

But today's meeting changed Shen Yuan's view of him a lot.

"Sit down." The Son of Heaven has always had no temper towards Shen Yuan, but he often has the helplessness of an old father.

"Did Pan Fushou tell you everything?" The prince glanced at Pan Fushou, who bowed his waist and smiled, and retreated knowingly.

"En." Shen Yuan thought for a while, and decided to be polite, "Thank you, Father."

"Don't make such foolish things." The emperor waved his hand, "I'll just ask you, what do you think?"

Shen Yuan understands that he wants to make a promise to himself, but he is also embarrassed to say that it is useless to give it to me, father, your country. In the final analysis, it is Xue Lin's, and it may even be Shen Qi's.

In order not to be the first crown prince to be torn apart before being canonized, Shen Yuan said: "The people are like water, and boats and boats capsize, so you should be very careful. The sons and ministers are the most important artifacts, and you must humbly accept them with humility."

"Okay." The emperor smiled, "The children of the lonely king are more capable than the lonely king."

Through Shen Yuan, he seemed to see someone.He is not young anymore, his face has already begun to have dimples, and his temples have turned white.For the first time and for the last time, the elderly emperor confided his heart: "The lonely king is not happy to sit in this seat for a few days. Everyone wants a high position, but only when you really sit on it will you know... The king is not as talented as his elder brother and father, and he dare not venture forward to these princes, and spends his whole life seeking nothing but merit and demerit."

"Shen Yuan, you have to be a good king. You are more capable than the lonely king, so you have to do a good job."

It was the first time for Shen Yuan to seriously look at the emperor, his eyes were tired, and the princes around him made him uneasy, he felt guilty towards Shen Yuan, for leaving such a precarious country in his hands.

Shen Yuan didn't say anything, the emperor waved his hand and let him go.

The canonization ceremony was scheduled for one month later, and the time was short. Fortunately, the auspicious clothes were all ready-made.The ceremony went smoothly, and countries from all over the world came to pay their respects.

After the first change of identity, Shen Yuan didn't feel anything, but the people around him became more polite to him, which made Shen Yuan a little helpless.

***

A few years passed in a flash. In the past few years, it was not long. Shen Yuan was in charge of supervising several water conservancy projects and implementing policy reforms.

Ji Guo has become more and more arrogant in recent years, and there is a faint rivalry between Cheng Guo and another vassal country behind Xue Lin.

Ji Guo sent envoys to negotiate with the emperor on the border of Chen Bing. The two sides had tense exchanges and speculated on each other.

Two months ago, a rebellion broke out in a small country on the border. Xue Lin's father led people to suppress it. He thought that Xue Lin was too old to be kept in the palace every day, so he wrote a book and brought people together. gone.

Jiang Xingzhi wished that Xue Lin would leave sooner. In the past few years, Xue Lin's eyes on Shen Yuan have become more and more wrong, and he keeps writing letters to Shen Yuan, forgetting to write, and always asking him not to read it to him.

This made Jiang Xingzhi extremely dissatisfied.

Of course, this is not the key point, the key point is that Shen Yuan's birthday ceremony is about to be celebrated, he really doesn't want Xue Lin to come out to add drama to him.

How could Shen Yuan not know what he was thinking, snorted lightly without saying a word, and let him go.

Due to the situation, the birthday ceremony was kept simple. Shen Yuan had no objection to the birthday ceremony, but there was a piece of not-so-good news from Ji Guo.

The conditions for their withdrawal were not only land and wealth, but also Jiang Xingzhi's return to the country.

Right now, for the Son of Heaven, it is the best thing to be able to retreat. He has even signed those treaties that forfeit power and humiliate the country, so would he care about Jiang Xingzhi?

Shen Yuan has a thousand reluctances in his heart, but he also understands that the direction of the plot cannot be disrupted.

So, quietly, he made a decision.

It was night, the moon was as cool as water, and the silver light scattered all over the ground.

Shen Yuan seemed to be the same as usual, had dinner with Jiang Xingzhi and left him behind.

Jiang Xingzhi has matured a lot over the years, and his face has grown and looked better. He leaned on the small table and read a book, the candlelight fell on the side of his face, flickering to touch the little redness at the end of his eyes.

Shen Yuan hid behind the screen, looking at the bottles and cans in front of him with some confusion.

How to use these?Do you want them all?

If I knew it earlier, I would have asked...

Shen Yuan probably didn't know that the little thought he was pondering had been discovered by the queen long ago.

Seeing that he was always running to the pharmacy recently, the queen thought that Shen Yuan was not feeling well, so she went to the pharmacy's medical officer and questioned him, only then did she realize that Shen Yuan had secretly taken something that he shouldn't have taken.

When the queen heard the name of the medicine, she instantly recalled the books she had read back then...

She gritted her teeth and arranged for a guard to guard him tightly, listening carefully to what was going on inside, and then reporting.

Shen Yuan didn't expect his mother to install a bug for him, wipe his hair, and come out by stepping on a candle.

He must gain something today!
